“Presence of gas Kolndikes is not a guarantee of success and this fact dramatizes the latest news. There is always need for alternative routes. It is necessary to rely on interior reserves in order not to be a hostage of the Holland disease (dependence of treasury on deliveries of raw materials). The Turkmen government will emphasize thee milestones, as well,” a Turkmen expert told via telephone, keeping anonymity. He said that Turkmenistan has faced with a “mirror situation” around deliveries of energy resources to Tajikistan and some part to Afghanistan due to absence of customers’ contract with the transit Uzbek government. Although Russia and Ukraine having a transit contract cannot agree on a price for the Ukrainian market, a transit issue has become a leverage of pressure.
